Yuuuuuup. Any SBC really.
EDIT: Just noticed you said GM, thought you said chevrolet. Any SBC will fit in with little or no modification.

Very few General Motors engines, actually, since the vast majority of GM cars are front wheel drive.

check your tranny bolt pattern. I'm doing this swap right now, but from a 2.8, and my tranny has a different bellhousing bolt pattern. But thats ok I picked up a 5-speed for it instead 
I heard 3.1 tranny's don't bolt up.
